Description

Background:
This scale can be used to assess parental health locus of control regarding their children’s health. The scale was originally developed as the Children’s Health Locus of Control measure (Parcel et al., 1978), and modified by Tinsley and Holtgrave (1989) to become the Parental Health Locus of Control Scale. Pachter et al. (2000) developed and described subscales and tested the instrument in a U.S. Puerto Rican community. Other subscales have been developed in Parcel et al., 1978, and further developed by Tinsley and Holtgrave. The scale appears here as described in Pachter et al.
